Solve the system by row reduction and choose a matching solu
Solve the system by row reduction and choose a matching solution set from the given choices or choose \"inconsistent\" if there is no solution. [5 4 8 1 7 5 4 -4 9 6 0 -9][x y z] = [3 3 12 6] Select one: a. Inconsistent b. X = 0, y = 2, z = 1 c. X = 2-t, y = -2t, z = t d. x = -2-t, y = -1 + 2t, z = t e. X = 2 + t, y = -1 - 2t, z = t
Solution
Your matrix
Find the pivot in the 1st column and swap the 4th and the 1st rows
Eliminate the 1st column
Make the pivot in the 2nd column by dividing the 2nd row by 21
Eliminate the 2nd column
solution
x = 2 + t
y = -1 - 2t
z = t
